“War in Ukraine” – simulation of a UN conference
The war in Ukraine will be the subject of a simulation of an international conference following the UN model. The event, held in English, will take place on April the 17th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Auditorium A4 as part of workshops within the “Negotiations” and “International negotiations” courses. Students will present their positions playing the roles of delegates of the UN member states or international and non-government organizations. During the debate, they will negotiate and adopt a resolution on the war in Ukraine.
Conference agenda
1. Election of the chairman.
2. Election of the conference office/ vice-chairman, rapporteur and secretary.
3. Plenary sessions/ presentation of conference participants’ positions.
4. Submission of a motion for a resolution.
5. Negotiating resolutions.

It is estimated that approximately one million young people each year take part in various types of conferences organized according to the UN model. Those include small debates as well as big international conferences gathering several thousand people.
Participation in such a conference provides students with the opportunity to practice their negotiation skills, learn how to seek common ground and deepen their knowledge of the United Nations. Practicing public speaking skills and seeking solutions to international problems in a public debate will play an important role in building students’ leadership skills.
All interested are kindly welcome to participate in the event. Students from other groups or fields of studies may take part in the conference as observers.
The event can also be attended online via the Teams platform.
